  // One should call this before changing any properties on the proxy. We load
  // the property values from XML defaults as well as user-preferences here.
  virtual bool PreInitializeProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  // Description:
  // Final step in proxy initialization. When this method is called, all
  // essential properties on the proxy (such as inputs for filters, or filename
  // on readers) are assumed to be set up so that domains can be updated. This
  // method setups up property values for those properties that weren't modified
  // since the PreInitializeProxy() using the domains, if possible. This enables
  // the application to select data-specific default values.
  // NOTE: This method does not register the proxy with the proxy manager. It
  // may, however register any helper proxies created for this proxy.

  // Description:

  virtual bool FinalizeProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // ******* Methods for Pipeline objects like sources/filters/readers ********

  // Description:
  // Use this method after PreInitializeProxy() and PostInitializeProxy() to
  // register a pipeline proxy with the proxy manager. This method does
  // additional updates required for pipeline proxies such as registering the
  // proxy with the TimeKeeper, creating additional helper proxies for enabling
  // representation animations, and updating the active-source. This method will
  // register the proxy in an appropriate group so that the application
  // becomes aware of it. One can optionally pass in the registration name to
  // use. Otherwise, this code will come up with a unique name.
  // Caveat: while pipeline proxies are generally registered under the "sources"
  // group, there's one exception: sources that produce vtkSelection. ParaView
  // treats them specially and registers them under "selection_sources".
  virtual bool RegisterPipelineProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy, const char* proxyname);

  // and hence unsets the active source if the active source if this proxy,
  // unregisters the proxy with the TimeKeeper etc.
  // Users can use either this method or the catch-all
  // vtkSMParaViewPipelineController::UnRegisterProxy() method which
  // determines the type of the proxy and then calls the appropriate method.
  virtual bool UnRegisterPipelineProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // *******  Methods for Views/Displays *********

  // Description:
  // Use this method after PreInitializeProxy() and PostInitializeProxy() to
  // register a view proxy with the proxy manager. This will also perform any
  // additional setups as needed e.g. registering the view with the
  // animation scene and the timer keeper.

  // Description:
  // Inverse of RegisterViewProxy.
  // Users can use either this method or the catch-all
  // vtkSMParaViewPipelineController::UnRegisterProxy() method which
  // determines the type of the proxy and then calls the appropriate method.
  // If the optional argument, \c unregister_representations, is false (default
  // is true), then this method will skip the unregistering of representations.
  // Default behaviour is to unregister all representations too.
  virtual bool UnRegisterViewProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy, bool unregister_representations=true);

  // Description:
  // Registration method for representations to be used after
  // PreInitializeProxy() and PostInitializeProxy(). Register the proxy under
  // the appropriate group.
  virtual bool RegisterRepresentationProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  // Description:
  // Unregisters a representation proxy.

    { return this->RegisterOpacityTransferFunction(proxy, NULL); }

  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // *******  Methods for Animation   *********

  // Description:
  // Returns the animation scene, if any. Returns NULL if none exists.
  virtual vtkSMProxy* FindAnimationScene(vtkSMSession* session);

  // Description:
  // Returns the animation scene for the session. If none exists, a new one will
  // be created. This may returns NULL if animation scene proxy is not available
  // in the session.
  virtual vtkSMProxy* GetAnimationScene(vtkSMSession* session);

  // Description:
  // Return the animation track for time. If none exists, a new one will be
  // created. Returns NULL if the proxy is not available in the session.

  // Description:
  // Use this method after PreInitializeProxy() and PostInitializeProxy() to
  // register an animation proxy with the proxy manager.
  virtual bool RegisterAnimationProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  // Description:
  // Inverse of RegisterAnimationProxy. Also unregisters cues if proxy is scene,
  // keyframes if proxy is a cue, etc.
  // Users can use either this method or the catch-all
  // vtkSMParaViewPipelineController::UnRegisterProxy() method which
  // determines the type of the proxy and then calls the appropriate method.
  virtual bool UnRegisterAnimationProxy(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // *******  Methods for Settings   *********
  //
  // Description:
  // Initializes and registers proxies in the "settings" group that
  // haven't been already. This may be called whenever a new settings
  // proxy definition becomes available, say, after loading a plugin.
  virtual void UpdateSettingsProxies(vtkSMSession* session);

  //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // ****** Methods for cleanup/finalization/deleting ******
  //
  // Description:
  // A catch-all method do cleanup and unregister any proxies that were
  // registered using Register..Proxy() APIs on this class. It determines what
  // known types the "proxy" is, i.e. is it a view, or pipeline, or
  // representation etc., and then calls the appropriate UnRegister...Proxy()
  // method.

  // create animation helpers.

  // Description:
  // Unregisters know proxy dependencies that must be removed when the proxy is
  // to be deleted e.g animation cues, representations, etc.
  virtual bool UnRegisterDependencies(vtkSMProxy* proxy);

  // Description:
  // Proxies in proxy-list domains can have hints that are used to setup
  // property-links to ensure that those proxies get appropriate domains.
  virtual void ProcessProxyListProxyHints(vtkSMProxy* parent, vtkSMProxy* proxyFromDomain);
